.s. ambassador and three others. republicans have criticized the united states ambassador to the united nations and other officials for saying that the attack likely stemmed from a protest. according to the reporting of the "wall street journal", the c.i.a. daily intelligence updates did not rule it out until accept 22 despite officials at office of the director of national intelligence who said by september 15 a protest had nothing to do with the attack. that is the top story. ed henry is live on it. the debate tonight is supposed to be about foreign possibility and the president has been playing a lot of defense on the libya attack. >>reporter: no doubt. foreign policy was to be a slam dunk between getting osama bin laden to the fact that mitt romney has stumbles on the one big overseas trip. you can see in recent weeks this has taken a turn. our latest polling in ohio, for example, who do you trust better to handle foreign policy? the president took a dip from september to now because of the terror attack, from 53 percent to 49 percent and mitt romney going up two points. in florida, the pre

security officer in libya testified, as well. here is what he said, that the united states could not count on lib jab security forces to help with security adequately. >> the libyan temporary government was unable to extend security assets to diplomatic missions in the ways we are expecting to see around the world. we could not rely on the libyan government for security, intelligence, and law enforcement help to identify emerging threats or to ask them for assistance in mitigating threats. >>shepard: before today, he told the committee in private in a private interview, that a state department official who oversees diplomatic security wanted to keep the number of security personnel in benghazi "artificially low." today, she suggested to the committee securing diplomatic missions around the globe and a constant struggle. >> i worked closely with more than 275 facilities around the world determining the right legal of security for each one. it is intensive and ongoing evolving process that i appreciate and understand from my own time on the ground as a diplomatic security for. >>shepard: she

. only 21 years old. his name is quasi muhammad renswa. he came to the united states in january of this year, a bangladeshi national. came here they say trying to conduct or carry out a terrorist attack in the united states. and only this morning the feds say that he met them at a warehouse and then he drove to another location where he tried to detonate the bomb and that's when they arrested him. they said that he told them he wrote "that he wanted to destroy america. and that before all this happened he went so far as to make a suicide tape in which according to prosecutors he said "we will not stop until we obtain victory or martyr dom." they say he wanted to target america's economy and bring it down. again, the bomb was inert. they were able to arrest him before he blew up the bomb, which really wasn't one to begin with. but he will be making an appearance in court this afternoon. i'm also told by a source with information who is very close to the investigation because a lot of this sting operation was put on videotape and at some point during the course of this operation,

're a president of the united states. in every position that he has ever held in the governor and now as a candidate he's flipped positions on any issue he's ever had to deal with. >> not any. >> wait. come on. >> during the republican debates, his opponents kept saying, wait a minute, when you were governor of massachusetts you were for gay marriage, pro-abortion rights. he says i changed since then. so he changed during the republican time and now he's changing back. >> toto, we're not in kansas anymore. mitt, we're not in the republican primary anymore. we're not running for a faction of the republican party. we're running to be government -- to lead the government of the entire united states. >> so say whatever he wants as long as he gets elected. >> i don't know where the moral high ground is for president obama on this. remember the guy who wasn't going to take money from super pacs? >> absolutely. good point. another one. you've noted too, those are both right and evolution on gay marriage is ridiculous. but that's not a flip. he tried to guantanamo bay. so did bush and mccain.

, there were back-channel talks between the united states and iran about talking about getting together. not yet agreed to by the ayatollah for iran, or from the united states, but the agreement of the diplomatic issues are a good thing, you may hear more rhetoric on benghazi and libya, and both candidates will talk about china quite a bit. china's impact on ohio, they're all looking towards to voters in ohio, the battleground states. >> andrea mitchell, we don't have you home for long, given your world travel and view of the world right now, what is the most urgent and pressing issue that could come up tonight? well, i think the afghanistan troops, tens of thousands, that is very important. but the most pressing issue right now seems to be syria, the united states can no longer ignore that situation, a huge hole, so far 30,000 people killed in syria, and it is clear that that conflict is a regional war with other countries becoming involved. the bombing in beirut, many believe that syria was involved. and today, in jordan, officials say a soldier there was killed when the jordan troops

throughout the united states. as one of the most highly rated cancer non-profits in the united states, we want to make sure people know the funds they contribute go to serve people and families who are struggling with the financial or emotional or practical challenges that always accompany cancer. >> would you be open at all to giving people their money back, anyone who wants it? i'm sure most people would not want their money back. they would probably think it's going to a good cause. even he said, i'm speaking for myself. would the foundation be open to doing that or is that out of the question? >> i tell you, what i heard loud and clear from mr. birdsong was that he felt the sense of disappointment. and i would just want to reassure mr. birdsong and anyone who's donated to livestrong that they weren't supporting one person. they weren't supporting an athlete or a celebrity. they were supporting millions of people throughout the united states who are struggling with cancer. and that is exactly what their funds were used to support. >> so i take that as a "no". >> well, certainly we want

, would not hear out his contender. but for a sitting vice president of the united states, to act as though he holds a younger challenger in total contempt, you have to wonder for voters in their 20s and 30s who had ever been treated like that by somebody older than him, how it made them feel to see paul ryan be jeered at by an incumbent vice president of the united states. i know that the vice president was trying to show that he was tough and would attack, but his countenance did not match up with the moment. megyn: i think you've hit on an interesting point. having anchored this broadcast for several years, the things that affects viewers more than anything else is one to two participants talk over each other. they don't like the debates, they like a fiery debate and a robust back and forth, but they get upset when one person won't let the other person speak. we saw mitt romney very aggressive with president obama last week. you know, trying to have the last word and make a final point. and it didn't seem to me that he disabled barack obama's ability to be heard. did we see som

the character of romney. i'm not surprised, but frankly i'm shocked. if the president of the united states would call romney a wall street raper, basically, when he's clearly -- he's been raping the middle class, he's been doing all these terrible things because he's healthy? that's character assassination. and i think it's beneath a president of the united states. >> how about undecided voters, these elusive undecided voters? they're going to make the difference. what do undecided voters need to hear? i don't think they're going to make their decision on foreign policy. >> the one thing we haven't heard from either candidate yet and it's going to be what makes undecideds decided is vision. both can do a better job articulating a vision for the next four years. we need to have a big vision for america. >> the vision -- we haven't seen -- there was a promise that romney could have provided this shift from the republican vision for the economy and foreign policy that's been of the past eight years and certainly of the past 20, 30 years. you would think maybe the so-called moderate from massachuset

program. "the new york times" is reporting that iran has agreed to one-on-one talks with the united states. the report is attributed to white house officials and suggest that talks wouldn't begin until after the presidential election. "the times" describes this as a last-ditch development, diplomatic effort to avoid a military strike. it also comes just two days before the last presidential debate, one that will focus on foreign policy. cnn correspondents working our sources to confirm this report. we'll keep you updated on this story throughout the evening here on cnn. >>> here's what else is happening right now. two days of random shootings in southeastern michigan are bringing back memories of the sniper attacks in washington, d.c. ten years ago. 15 shootings targeting motorists have happened over 48 hours in the suburban detroit area, leaving many on edge. and so far, no one has been hurt, was there have been some close calls. investigators from three counties are taking part in the investigation. no arrests have been made. >>> police in englewood, california, are searching for a gunma

of recovery are coming up. better than expected economic data from the united states pushed stock prices of words here in frankfurt. also bit unexpected were quarterly earnings reports, the ones from walmart for example. shares of siemens made an exception, though. they were among the losers on this thursday. siemens says its ceo announced job cuts and cost cuts. profit targets which they had set might not be met within the timeframe that siemens had imagined. >> let's take a quick look at the numbers now in frankfurt. the dax ended the day up by more than 1%. europe -- euro stoxx 50 up by 1.25%. the dow jones almost flat. the euro trading for $1.2929. is there such a thing as clean and affordable energy? >> good question. germany's environment minister believe so, but he says the country has to completely rethink the way it subsidizes renewals. >> with elections due next year, the rising cost of electricity has become an issue. environment minister is calling for a government overhaul of renewable energy. he says current policy favors quantity, not quality. >> we need the appropriate i

near the end of the day. especially hard-meeting news from upon united states -- hard- hitting news from the united states, google, caterpillar, the world's largest tractor and construction-machinery maker. they had a record profit in the third quarter, but they are looking more pessimistically ahead. that affected the trading here. especially because there are more company reports expected later in the week, for example, from daimler-benz and volkswagen. >> we will stay in frankfurt for closer look at the numbers. the dax finished monday down by 7/10 of 1%. euro stoxx 50 also sliding, going into the end of monday, down by 4/10 of 1%. the dow is off by 6/101%, but the euro is looking up, trading at 1.3046. >> an italian court has sentenced a group of scientists and one government official to six years in prison for failing to provide adequate warnings prior to a deadly earthquake in 2009. >> the judges found the seven defendants guilty of multiple manslaughter in connection with the earthquake that killed more than 300 people in the city of l'aquila. the defendants were members of a

and uranium. they are a threat to the united states and the world and that is unacceptable to us. it is essential for president to show strength. >> we put in the toughest, the most crippling sanctions ever. their economy is in a shambles. the disagreement i have with governor romney is that during the course of this campaign, he as often talked as if we should take premature military action. >> military action is the last resort. >> the touched on economic issues. president obama recycling an attack. both at home and abroad, he has proposed wrong and reckless policies. >> the race looks tight, and both sides agreed nothing is more likely to affect the outcome of this campaign than this debate. steve handelsman, nbc news, boca raton, florida. >> meanwhile, debate closer to home. kerry cavanaugh is in baltimore county tonight or state senator nancy jacobs challenged congress and dutch rippers burger -- dutch ruppersberger to a debate. >> the standing-room-only crowd seemed to be split almost equally between the congressman and challenger nancy jacobs. democrat dutch ruppersberger

because you once made a mistake, years ago or decades ago. there are states in the united states today where you forfeit your right permanently, because of a felony you once were convicted of in your life. voting should be deemed a right, an absolute, inalienable right. in other western democracies, the idea that, you know, you can be deprived of your right to vote because you once committed a crime is, you know, considered laughable. there are actually voting drives conducted in prisons and other western democracies. but here in the united states, you can be deprived of your right to vote for a period of years or even the rest of your life. >> i should say that the naacp launched a campaign this month to restore voting rights to ex-felons, and it's going to be interesting to watch that one, but i want to be more specific about this election. you have seen the efforts to, what some people call voter suppression. some people say it's to protect the voting process, by asking people to show identification. is that voter suppression or is it protecting the voter process? >> oh, it's absolu

states was the president of the united states tonight. he -- there are only two things i think people with looking for. one, are you a strong leader? and are you on my side? he was clearly a strong leader tonight. he was passionate, he was focused, and i thought when he went over the line, when romney went over the line and challenged his integrity with regard to the people that died and the president stood up and said that's not who i am, i think that will go down as one of the great moments in american debate. and beyond that, i think romney may have hurt himself with women. here the questions about equal pay for equal work, romney, the only thing he says is when he's 50 years old, he heard there was a problem and he wants to figure out ways for moms to get home on time to cook dinner. that is not the right answer to that question. i'm sorry. the right answer to that question is, america's government should be a partner to america's mothers to make sure by law people can -- >> let's move along. alex, quick response. >> i think i've begun to figure out who vince is going to vote for.

" elizabeth palmer, islamabad. >>> the head of al qaeda is calling for a holy war against the united states. in an audio message posted on the internet this morning, ayman al zawahiri praised those who stormed the embassy last month and calls for more protests. he called the demonstrators honest and zealous. >> deadly meningitis outbreak has prompted calls for tougher oversight of the pharmaceutical industry. at least 184 people in 12 states have now been sickened. 14 have died. tennessee is the hardest hit state with at least 50 cases reported. the source of the outbreak is contaminated steroid shots made to treat back pain. >>> the space shuttle endeavor is on the move been. it's on a flat bed truck moving at 2 miles per hour through the streets of l.a. from los angeles international airport. not hard to imagine going 2 miles per hour. the journey was delayed when power lines had to be taken down to accommodate the sheer size of the spacecraft. it's expected to reach the museuming tonight. >> most people go 2 miles per hour. >> baseball is down to its final four. st. louis. cardinals comp

, the "new york times" reported on the united states and iran have agreed in principal to hold one-on-one negotiations on iran's nuclear program. but the white house quickly denied that any talks had been set. this report of course came just days before tonight's foreign policy debate with president obama and mitt romney. >> great editorial piece in the journal about how that came about. some senior official obviously said that a tempting october surprise. talks about not just in that instance, a movie about how to-to-cheat on your wife where you're this bed with a woman, your wife comes in, you just keep denying as the woman gets dressed, you get dressed, your wife keeps say whog is this woman, what are you doing, what woman? until she finally leaves and then five minutes later the wife just gives up and says what do you want for dinner tonight. but that's typical of what we've heard for the last 3 1/2 years. >> tonight is the big debate. it will be focused on foreign affairs. and they've already put out a list of the topics he wants to get to. so i don't know what new will happen

was providing another activity for the united states was able to assist. now, whether someone -- go ahead. megyn: i was going to say folks on the ground from ambassador stevens on down, the regional security coordinator, everybody has talked about how they were begging for more security, and they were denied. and charlene lamb, the state department official who testified before congress the other week, said i would have made the same decision, that we had appropriate assets on the ground at the time. i want to show to the video again of greg talcott walking through the scene, because now we know the security guy who came over to try to help ambassador stevens got them into this safe room, and that's where they sat as then the terrorists came in and bombed the place and lit everything on fire, and the smoke inhalation forced them eventually to get out of this room we're looking at right here. and they couldn't make it. they couldn't make it, general. eventually, we believe this is where ambassador stevens died along with one other. >> yeah. i mean, what -- i don't believe the terrorists knew for

president of the united states? things have been a little strange. (sfx: sound of piano smashing) roadrunner: meep meep. meep meep? (sfx: loud thud sound) what a strange place. geico®. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. why they're always there to talk. i love you, james. don't you love me? i'm a robot. i know. i know you're a robot! but there's more in you than just circuits and wires! uhhh.

secretary, leon panetta, confirming that the united states has deployed american troops to help jordan with a civil war across its northern border in syria. this marks the strongest u.s. military response yet to syria's 19 month long civil war. a u.s. defense official saying more than 100 military planners and other troops now operating from a joint u.s. jordanian military center, north of the capital city of amman. that's less than 35 miles from jordan's border with syria. this follows several days of cross border attacks between syria and turkey. a troubling sign that the syrian civil war could explode into a wider conflict. today secretary panetta saying the u.s. is helping jordan deal with tens of thousands of refugees out of syria and getting ready for any potential syrian escalation. >> that's the reason we have our -- a group of our force there is working to help them build a headquarters there and to insure that we make the relationship between the united states and jordan a strong one so that we can deal with all of the possible consequences of what's happening in syria. >> ac

the very best of the united states of america. we will not waiver in our commitment to make sure justice is done for this terrible act and make no mistake, justice will be done. >> so that's what the president said in the rose garden. a week later, an admission station official said it was terrorism, but a week later, the president wasn't saying that when directly asked. speechwriters come in handy when you have a speech to analyze. i spoke earlier with one of the all time best, david frum, former speechwriter for george w. bush, and a contributor to cnn, newsweek, and the daily beast. joining me is fareed zakaria. david, this debate over whether the president was specifically referring to the benghazi attack when he used acts of terror, as a former speechwriter, what was your take? >> that was a highly conditional statement in the rose garden. he said no act of terror. you write that when you say i'm not characterizing these acts. this is a general statement. it could have been delivered 24 hours before the attacks as well as 24 hours after. it was a way of putting something on the reco

'll have the president of the united states picking particular pronls. i don't think we would be that connected to it. >> there's a big difference in what the public and private sector needs to do. what mitt romney was good at, finding companies with fat and knocking fat off. that's very different than creating a whole industry of the future. there's bag difference between spawning new technologies and starting a new kind of stationary store. >> all right, one final question. this is on the deficit. four years ago, the president made a promise he would cut the deficit in half by the first term. he has not kept his promise. >> the president when he made that promise didn't know what he was going to inherit. he didn't know the economy was going to go into free fall and the situation was -- as a consequence, it's taken us longer to work our way out than it otherwise would have. first priority is jobs that will get this economy growing and part of that is putting in place a framework that will give people the sense these debts are under control. and that's absolutely something the

best of the united states of america. we will not waiver in our commitment to see justice is done for this terrible act. make no mistake, justice will be done. >> so that's what the president said in the rose garden. a week later administration official told a senate hearing it was terrorism but a week later the president still wasn't saying that when directly asked. back to his words in the rose garden what they meant and because speech writers always come in handy when you have a speech it analyze, i spoke earlier with one of the all-time best, david frum, he's a contributor to cnn and the daily beast. joining us tonight is freed zakaria. >> this was a highly conditional statement in the rose garden. what the president said was no act of terror. you write that when you want to say i'm not characterizing these acts. this is a general state. it could have been delivered 24 hours before the attacks as well as 24 hours after. it was a way of putting something on the record without fully endorsing it. a mild lean forward. the president -- you can almost imagine that somebody wrote th

, just this week, there was a leak that the united states may be ready to begin negotiations with iran, sanctions coming to the time. the white house is saying wait a minute, that's not the case. this may come up. >> this is one of those interesting issues for a sitting president of the united states because there are things in diplomacy that you don't like to talk about publicly. this may very well be one of them. i'm curious to see if obama can say in response to these questions, look, we're not prepared to talk about that at this point. you sort of get the impression they might want to step away from this story if there really -- if they really are in negotiations with iran. meanwhile romney is going to make the case they've been coddling iran, haven't been strong enough and partnering close enough with israel. any of these rumors of backstage talks may play into romney's attack on that subject. >> romney has really hammered the president's relationship with israel, talking about detail light between them, not being a close friend to israel. do you think that is resonating with some

for the united states or of american institutions and willingness to attack them. then the fbi engages them via one of its own agents, typically, pretending to be a confederate and walks them through the crime. the crime, of course, is something that would have been impossible to accomplish because there was never any bomb material there. essentially, he is being punished or will be prosecuted and probably incarcerated for the rest of his life because of his thoughts. >> jon: still, investigators say the suspect believed that he had a van filled with a thousand pounds of explosives. and they say he tried to set it off with a cell phone detonator. that's when they grabbed him. and a short time ago, he appeared in court. rick leventhal live outside the district courthouse in brooklyn. so what happened, rick, when he went before the judge? >> well, john, this was a very brief court appearance. the suspect has been arraigned but he has not yet been indicted. he was very quiet in court. barely audible in when answering the judge's questions. he was dressed casually in dark jeans, dress shirt and sne

city on the planet. we're right here, right down the street from the united states capitol. good to have you with us today. lots and lots to talk about and more post-debate commentary about president obama's comments on libya and mr. romney's comments on governor romney's comments, i should say on coal and other energy issues all across the board the debate continues leading up to the next presidential debate which is monday. i don't know where this one is. peter? >> i knew and now i forgot. i'll find out. >> bill: doesn't matter where it is. we'll be there with you watching it and talking about it. today, more spillover from tuesday night's debate. wherever you happen to be, thank you for joining us, whether you're watching or listening on your local progressive talk radio station or watching on current tv, listening to sirius x.m., this is the place to start your day. i appreciate the fact that you do so. we are here with the entire team this morning. peter ogborn and dan henning hello, guys. >> good morn

. >> steve: you know what is interesting dianna, we heard the president of the united states actually explaining what happened. he's been on the view or david letterman and in a setting where he's not challenged to get to the crux of what happened. because at the point of where everybody was repeating it was just a video, the intelligence community knew it was not a video. there was no demonstration before the murder of our four guys. >> the whole thing is heart breaking and really reminds me of the soviet prava who used to print the communist agend a. >> steve: i know you and your husband were trying to bring down soviet espionage. the relations with the u.s. and russia. >> steve: it is president putin again. >> steve: that's right. >> we should be embracing of all we can and very careful not to be naive. soviet strategy has not changed since 1991 when the structure of the ussr has changed. the goals are still out there. >> steve: the reason ed president medeves. the president didn't know the mike was open and after the election coming up in a couple of weeks, mr. obama will be able

, shutting down the border between the united states and canada? it's all "happening now." jon: and good morning to you on this wednesday after the presidential debate. it turned red hot as the candidates duke it out in a contentious town hall format. jenna: we're so glad you're with us everybody. i'm jenna lee. happening now the president looking to gain some lost ground in last night's fiery second debate. we'll see if he actually does that. both the president and governor romney, literally at times, jon, going toe-to-toe. jon: yeah. jenna: it got a little close there. jon: it sure did. jenna: kind of in that spoken, right? -- zone, personal zone. interruptionses filled the debate. there were so many challenges on so many different topics from the economy to taxes to the terror attack in libya energy. specifically on energy there was quite an exchange when it came to federal drilling permits. take a look at this. >> that's the problem. in the last four years you cut permits and licenses on federal land in federal waters in half. >> not true, governor romney. >> how much did you cut the

there and exploit this. and that is what people want from the united states. doesn't the president get anything from any embassy around the world? >> there are 270 installations around the country and those go into the security professionals at the state department as to what is done. it is crazy to think that consulates would be sending those requests worked. and i can't imagine that is how a president romney would operate. i find it silly that they are trying to make it. do you think you should be focusing on more serious stuff than this? >> i think the binders for women was an awkward formulation. the point the governor was making was that he wouldn't find qualified women. they gave him the binder, but i'm not surprised that he needed the help. they had no women partners, he explained at the time that business schools aren't graduating women at the time. governor romney didn't reach out for the binders then. it is also true that his record was no better than the previous administration. which is poor and reflected in the policies that he is reflecting today. >> always great to be with you. thank

.w. bush -- they declared doma institutional in the majority decision of windsor v. united states writing... >> eliot: to break down the implications of this rule, i'm joined by richard socarides former president of equality matters who served as an adviser it of lgbt issues to president clinton. you haven't stopped smiling since the decision came down. hugely important day. explain what this means and why it is so important. >> it was a important decision for a couple of reasons. first, because it is a very important federal appellate court. the second circuit is a very prestigious court. the chief judge is known as a conservative judge appointed by republican president. so you know, all of that makes for a very important decision anyway. but most importantly, this is the first appellate court say when we look at classifications based on sexual orientation, in other words, when a law treats americans based upon their sexual orientation that the government is going to have to come forward with a very strong reaso

overseas and filling our streets over here. >> this war is destroying the united states. >> he scolded his fellow senators who supported it. >> we need to end that war and get on with what are the real problems before the nation. >> it was and an unabashed liberal that the democrats nominated him in 1972, it was snake bit from the start. >> come home to the conviction that we can move our country forward, come home to the belief that we can see a newer world. >> when his running mate missouri senator tom eagle on the revealed he had had electroshock therapy for depression, he came off the ticket. despite the efforts of a young campaign staff, including a young man named bill clinton who ran the effort in texas, on election night george mcgovern was crushed by richard nixon. >> we can see the dimensions of nixon's landslide tonight. >> he didn't even win his home state. a new years later the reagan revolution ended him off and he lost his united states senate seat. >> i leave the senate and the service of south dakota with very deep personal satisfaction. >> after such crushing defeat he ke

in a speech last month to the united nations. >> the united states will do what we must to prevent iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: two weeks ago, romney spelled out his line. >> the united states and our friends and allies will prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons capability. >> reporter: that last word, "capability," which he uses on his campaign website, significantly shortens the time before iran would reach romney's red line. his campaign refuses to specify what he means by "capability," but the term usually refers to iran's stockpile of enriched uranium. israeli prime minister netanyahu told the u.n. his own red line would come next spring or summer when iran is expected to have enriched enough uranium to build a bomb. president obama insists iran has not yet made a decision to go for the bomb and even with enough enriched uranium would still need a year or more to build one. >> america wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy and we believe that there is still time and space to do so. >> reporter: an aide to romney says the governor also believes there is

dermott has this report for us. >> reporter: the united states anti-doping agency says that armstrong was a drug cheat. part of an organized conspiracy by the u.s. postal service team to dupe the public or fool the authorities. >> the totality of the evidence is overwhelming. you're looking at the bernie madoff of sport. this is the biggest fraud in the history of sport. the biggest. he couldn't have done it alone. >> when money is involved, big money, then, of course, the cheat comes along. >> reporter: lance armstrong entered cycling as a brash, young competitor. full of enthusiasm and limited in his all-around ability. his mental then was the australian racer. did he strike you in those days as a cyclist that could eventually win the tour de france? >> for me, no. to be a good tour rider you have to be a good time and a good mountain climber. he wasn't particularly strong in those two areas. to me, he didn't have what it took in those early years. >> reporter: lance armstrong was then with the american motorola team. so, too, was new zealander steven schwartz. he said that in 1995

story concerning foreign policy. possible, possible talks between the united states and iran after the election. one on one talks about iran's nuclear program and that would be a major shift in washington's policy toward tehran. keep in mind, though, the obama administration and iran both denight the talks have been agreed to. jim acosta, to you, he's at the scene for us of tonight's big debate, our coverage by the way begins tonight at 7:00 eastern. curious timing here, the story about potential talks between the u.s. and iran. i'm guessing that could take center stage tonight. >> reporter: i think that's right, brooke. you know, we tried to ask mitt romney that question yesterday when his staff came out for a football game with the reporters who cover his campaign. one of the report tleers tried ask mitt romney about the story in "the new york times" as to whether or not he would support the face to face talks between the united states and iran. he didn't really answer the question. he wanted to focus on football during that afternoon. and so i think it will come up tonight. i th

. >> this is a fight for who's going to be the commander in chief of the united states of america and you saw a very strong president, a strong and steady president who had a very clear vision and an unsteady romney. >> reporter: romney's best score came on the issue of china. >> i want a great relationship with china. china can be our partner. but that doesn't mean they can just roll all over us and steal our jobs on an unfair basis. >> reporter: on that issue, romney only managed to tie president obama. >> i think the message to china is we'll be expected to play by the rules. >> reporter: the most memorable line of the night came when they were debating cuts to the military budget. >> our navy is smaller now than any time since 1917. the navy said they needed 283 ships. >> we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. we have these things called aircraft carriers where planes landn them. we have these ships that go under wear. >> reporter: republicans say the president was disrespectful. >> i found it extraordinary that the president ridiculed the navy. ba

for the next president of the united states, as well as a few other elected officials. >> we have staff to try to prevent lines. >> here is what you need to know if you plan to vote early. between this saturday, october 7, and thursday november 1, the polls will be open from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. every day of early voting, except for sunday when they will be open from noon to 6:00 p.m. mr. to check your precinct to make sure you are boating at the correct spot -- be sure to check your precinct. tim -- to make sure you are boating at the correct spot. >> the specimen ballot that to get in the mail will look just like the machine. >> you will also vote yes or no on 7 ballot questions including same sex marriage, expanded gambling, and in state college -- schooling for children of illegal immigrants. >> if you are not prepared, it is going to take time, and there will be lines. >> absentee voting deadline to continue through october 30. coming up in the next half-hour, we'll take a closer look at some of those ballot initiatives and how they could impact future elections and politics here in

weeks and a day americans will decide who'll be the next president of the united states. the candidates get their last chance tonight to make their case to the voters. the subject will be foreign policy at the third and final presidential debate. the moderator will be chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. meanwhile a new quinnipiac university/cbs news poll focuses on ohio, a vital swing state for both campaigns. >> president obama now has a five point advantage over governor mitt romney. 50% to 45% among likely voters in ohio. romney has cut the president's lead in half since september. the same poll found voters prefer the president on foreign policy, but, again, his lead has shrunk in the past month. when they were asked who's a strong leader, more ohio voters choose romney. when asked if the candidates care about their needs and problems, the president had the advantage. jan crawford is in boca raton, florida, the site of tonight's debate. she's covering things from the side of the romney campaign. good morning. >> good morning, norah, charlie, those of you in the west. romne

about the video and saying that we in the united states do not denigrate any religion. he goes for eight paragraphs. starts talking about 9/11. the fact this was the anniversary of 9/11 and morning went on. it is eight paragraphs later when he talks about no acts of terror. i don't think anybody reading or listening to what he said that day on september 12th thought he was specifically calling the attack in benghazi a terrorist attack. i must say, nobody in the reporting of it that day said that he had said that. so i do think he misstated what he in fact said, on september 12th and i suspect that is going to be a big subject for the next few days as we pour over that. obviously it will be a subject that will be gone over i think in great detail. i would hope so, in the final foreign policy debate next monday. jenna: something we'll be talking about a lot today. interesting to see the moderator weigh in on the topic as well last night, chris. a lot to get to. appreciate you joining us. see you on sunday as always. >> you bet. jenna: chris will anchor "fox news sunday". check your local l

include investments outside the united states, including in chinese companies. mr. president, have you looked at your pension? have you looked at your pension? >> i've got to say -- >> mr. president, have you looked at your pension? >> you know, i don't look at my pension. it's not as big as yours. >> let me -- >> now that -- that was clearly a momenthat mitt romney thought he had the president, and the president came right back at him. and that was maybe indicative of so many moments, soledad, that we saw last night. very, very interesting that the whole format of the town hall, going into it you thought maybe that they were going to be a little bit more cautious because the whole idea is to play to the undecided voters. they want to be careful not to come across as too aggressive. obnoxious, frankly. they didn't care. >> you knew it was going to be a very different kind of town hall than the sort of sometimes a little bit sleepy town halls that we see. mrs. jones, what do you think? >> there was nothing sleepy about it. >> very interesting to watch. dana, thank you very much. another
